To help students grow up in healthy surroundings, we need to know more about the strengths and challenges in our communities and its programs for young people.
What is it?
The Washington State Healthy Youth Survey measures health risk behaviors that contribute to morbidity, mortality, and social problems among youth in Washington State. These behaviors include alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, behaviors that result in unintentional and intentional injuries (e.g., violence), dietary behaviors, physical activity, and related risk and protective factors.
When is it?
On October 16, 2008, Issaquah School District joined others in the state to administer a Healthy Youth Survey to 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th graders. This is a completely voluntary and confidential survey, designed to gather information to plan programs that support students in the schools and community. 2008 survey results will be available in late March.
